broken when Charles Evans
Hughes, a New York lawyer at the
time, pleaded against the un-
American procedure used in a New
York court to disbar some socialist
members of the legislature. He
protested and won, just as Jef-
ferson had.
The. recent Bailey case shows
that we are again reverting to the
restraining actions that. are signs
of a period of unrest and insecur-
ity . Mrs. Bailey, a Labor Depart-
ment employee, was accused of
being intimate with and working
with communists. The Loyalty
Board would not tell her who had
made the charges, nor did the
judges know. She was fired under
the “highly legalistic” excuse that
the government has the right to
fire anyone it pleases. “It means
she is branded a traitor by her
government.” She was convicted
by the sparse evidence and beliefs
of unnamed persons. Mrs. Bailey’s
expressing her own ideas brought
on a far more serious penalty than
if she had committed a crime
as theft. The difficulty with loyalty
tests is that “loyalty is a personal
thing which cannot be measured
with a yardstick.” Some consider
loyalty as belief in free enterprise,
in Negro segregation, in reading
only the “right” books. “Part of
a man’s education is to read what
the other side is writing ... If
you are a non-conformist, you are
a traitor. That is what it is com-
ing to.”
The problem of loyalty tests is

affecting our universities today.
This is the attitude of teachers
(as a professor of worldly wis-
dom says): “It is not our business
to make students think for them-
selves... but to make them think
as we do, or as we think we do.”
Mr. Biddle cited only two loyalty
oaths that are valid. One is the
oath of the German universities,
that is, loyalty to the ideals of
the university. The other is the
oath of the Peers of Aragon to
their king: “We, your loyal peers,
swear loyalty and obedience, so
long as you respect our lives and
privileges. If not, not.” In an-
swer to the inevitable question,
“What can we do about this
loyalty oath situation?” Mr. Bid-
dle said that writing letters to
Congressmen, knowing the facts
about the oaths, and informing
others are the best ways to fight
these undemocratic proceedings.

(Disease is very important. There
is acute envy of the lucky girls
who have developed mononeucleosis
and have been sent home for good
food and lots of rest. Lately, it has
been rumored that some for-
tunate individual has got scurvy
and is out for the rest of the year.
The ability to make the best of
a bad time of day, the remarkable
conservation of strength, the dark-
ly flashing breakfast monologues,
all these show that there is no
need for shame regarding break-
fast at Bryn Mawr. Abandon the
top secret attitude, but do not
admit the public indiscriminately.
A balance, a golden mean must
be found.
